  2. Oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen

    Space-filling model representation of dioxygen (O 2) molecule. The common allotrope of elemental oxygen on Earth is called dioxygen, O 2, the major part of the Earth's atmospheric oxygen (see Occurrence). O 2 has a bond length of 121 pm and a bond energy of 498 kJ/mol. [42] O 2 is used by complex forms of life, such as animals, in cellular ...

  3. Oxidation state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_state

    2 has an overall charge of −1, so each of its two equivalent oxygen atoms is assigned an oxidation state of − ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠. This ion can be described as a resonance hybrid of two Lewis structures, where each oxygen has an oxidation state of 0 in one structure and −1 in the other.

  4. Half-reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-reaction

    Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound containing Mg 2+ and O 2− ions whereas Mg (s) and O 2(g) are elements with no charges. The Mg (s) with zero charge gains a +2 charge going from the reactant side to product side, and the O 2(g) with zero charge gains a –2 charge. This is because when Mg (s) becomes Mg 2+, it loses 2 electrons. Since ...

  5. Oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxide

    Notice that oxygen forms three bonds to titanium and titanium forms six bonds to oxygen. An oxide (/ ˈ ɒ k s aɪ d /) is a chemical compound containing at least one oxygen atom and one other element [1] in its chemical formula. "Oxide" itself is the dianion (anion bearing a net charge of –2) of oxygen, an O 2– ion with oxygen in the ...

  6. Allotropes of oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_oxygen

    Triatomic oxygen (ozone, O 3) is a very reactive allotrope of oxygen that is a pale blue gas at standard temperature and pressure. Liquid and solid O 3 have a deeper blue color than ordinary O 2, and they are unstable and explosive. [5] [6] In its gas phase, ozone is destructive to materials like rubber and fabric and is damaging to lung tissue ...

  7. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    The molecular orbitals are labelled according to their symmetry, [e] rather than the atomic orbital labels used for atoms and monatomic ions; hence, the electron configuration of the dioxygen molecule, O 2, is written 1σ g 2 1σ u 2 2σ g 2 2σ u 2 3σ g 2 1π u 4 1π g 2, [39] [40] or equivalently 1σ g 2 1σ u 2 2σ g 2 2σ u 2 1π u 4 3σ g ...

  8. Oxygen evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_evolution

    Oxygen evolution is the chemical process of generating elemental diatomic oxygen (O 2) by a chemical reaction, usually from water, the most abundant oxide compound in the universe. Oxygen evolution on Earth is effected by biotic oxygenic photosynthesis , photodissociation , hydroelectrolysis , and thermal decomposition of various oxides and ...

    Joseph Priestley FRS (/ ˈ p r iː s t l i /; [3] 24 March 1733 – 6 February 1804) was an English chemist, Unitarian, natural philosopher, separatist theologian, grammarian, multi-subject educator and classical liberal political theorist. [4] He published over 150 works, and conducted experiments in several areas of science. [5] [6]
